Annie - I don’t know how it is there but here they couldn’t just decide to go, they would need an assessment beforehand. There isn’t much you can do to stop this awful disease once it starts. Maybe your Father is hoping to spare you some of what’s to come.
Katla - I’m sorry that it wasn’t a simple sprain, hopefully you get it all repaired and in the mend soon.
Machka - Great tips. Early in my Mom’s disease I delayed cancelling our house phone and using only my cell as I knew my Mom wouldn’t remember and wouldn’t call me anymore. My best friend had done it and my Mom who called her almost daily was so angry, hurt, confused and extremely worried because she couldn’t reach Cheryle and “if she had a new number she would have given it to her”. We had, it was programmed in her phone, written in her old address book she still used and written on her list by the phone. She relied on her memory to call Cheryle though because she had the same number for 20 years.
Janet - I don’t like taking the Christmas decorations down either. I found it helped me a lot last year when I followed Penny’s lead and put some of my fairy lights in vases. I didn’t do it this year as I received some candles but wish that I had.
My back is absolutely killing me. I stopped and bought some pills for back pain. So far they aren’t doing anything to help.
I think I need to go to physio again, I’ll have to contact my doctor. I also need to see if physiotherapists are open or not.
Our restrictions are probably going to be extended again. Not that a lot are following it anyway including our elected officials.
I’m off for a long hot bath.

Its crazy, literally 5 minutes after I posted! Then it was just a matter of telling everyone that posted after, that I had put "pending pickup" on the site, and I would contact the next in line if she was a no show. I didn't want to delete it because that's just messing with karma right there!
Rebecca0 -
I wouldn’t be able to see out of my old glasses. It took me two or three days to adjust to these ones because the difference was so huge this time.
Machka - a few years ago I went to physio for my lower back and it was my hips causing the issue. They had basically frozen. I think it’s the same thing again but the sheet I had for exercises I can’t find. I’ve been doing the ones I remember but they aren’t helping so I’m not sure.
Lisa - I love your dress.
Rebecca - we had somehow ended up with three children’s bikes here last summer. I sat them out in the yard with a free sign on them. It took a week before the last one finally went.
I had a bath and am sitting on a heating pad. That and the painkillers are making me feel fairly comfortable right now.

My brother who caught Covid from his step-grandchildren was admitted to the hospital this morning. He has congestive heart failure which has complicated the Covid. His oxygen sats were down in the 70s this morning so DSIL called the doc and was told to take him in. Just found out he has Covid related pneumonia and they are going to keep him for a while on oxygen, fluids and antibiotics.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA

@ginnytez How annoying to arrive a day early for the appointment! Great job on all the exercise today.0

Thanks for your support & encouragement. I have an appointment with my eye doctor tomorrow afternoon. It will be a thorough eye exam & my doctor will write new prescriptions. I look forward to it. DH will be my driver. I’m sure the exam will be thorough. I hope it will include prescriptions for new lenses. No idea how long it will be to get new glasses.4

And I'm not sure what assisted care would do that I can't do. They are so reluctant to turn things over to me. I know this phase of the three of us won't go on forever, but I'm not ready for them to move out. I keep telling them to get a doctor's geriatric memory assessment. And learn some memory tricks from the experts. So I'm all stressed out again today.
It takes quite awhile to get everything in order to move to assisted living. Consider taking your dad’s lead and collaborate with him to get all the pre-work done, tour some facilities, look at floor plans, think about how it could be furnished, submit any financial statements required, get on a waiting list for the floor plan they would prefer. Most assisted living places will take a fee, which may or may not be refundable, to put you on a waiting list, and they just bump you down the list if you aren’t quite ready when a unit becomes available. It makes it so when you are ready, you aren’t starting from scratch. You just say yes and put your plan into play. It’s actually a huge relief for most people, knowing they have the next step planned out.

Allie - hope they get you back up and on your feet quick. Pneumonia's too scary during a pandemic.
Sue in WA - I'm so sorry your brother is not doing well. Also scary that he has covid-pneumonia.
Katla - Glad you're getting everything seen to...
Karen - That is possibly the best advice I've ever seen about working with parents at their stage in life.
Tracey - Thank you! When I looked at the picture of the dress, it reminded me that I want to make a quilt out of it. It will not be a comfy quilt, because all that embroidery is actually beading. I'm still thinking about it. As I mentioned, I'm not sentimental about most things, but am still taken aback by the thought of putting scissors to it... I'll have to get some hints from Kim on how to deal with satin, and I have a feeling it means fabric stabilizer and lots of ironing.
That's for later, though - I already have two more pressing projects out in front of me, beginning the quilt-as-you-go Texas star quilt I'm creating for my niece, and cleaning out the storage room under the carport, which will require getting everything out of it, and using the massive pile of pallet stickers (scrap wood, basically) nailing them up to get the walls and ceiling covered. Then build lots of shelves.
Though I'm discussing in general terms what I'm planning to get done, one of the things I've made myself stop doing is a to-do list. Not saying they're a bad thing, just saying they're a bad thing for me right now. I was starting to stress over them and whether I did or didn't get things done... and starting to schedule out every moment. After six months retired, I'm trying to deprogram myself from 46 years of work, and obviously having a hard time of it.
Hope it's a wonderfully Wednesday for us all... my blood pressure and pulse have been spot on all week, so the exercise may be helping like it's supposed to.
Love y'all,
Lisa in AR7 -
Sending love and hugs Allie.
Talking about planning for elderly care - I have in my head, if we wanted to stay in this house, to have a bathroom/shower put in where the back half of the utility room is. That would give us everything on ground level. We currently have a downstairs toilet with the tiniest washbasin you've ever seen, but a walk in shower and bigger basin would be good future planning. I don't think I would stay here alone if DH was gone, but it's very good for the two of us, with everything nearby, including our doctor. DH'S study on the ground floor front could become our bedroom.
The problem is, biting the bullet and doing it sooner, rather than later, and not knowing if we'll ever need it. Not cheap. Luckily, there is plumbing for water and drainage out there. Something to think about.
At the moment I think having the stairs is good for us. My bathroom is two floors up! I don’t notice the stairs at the moment and hope it stays that way for a long time. But ageing is inevitable. So are accidents and illness!
Zoom this afternoon with my girlfriends. We are all in severe lockdown and some are finding it harder than others. I am soooooo lucky to have a great husband and my writing to sustain me.
Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

Happy Wednesday Ladies!
I have just been a little lost ( as have a lot of us), overwhelmed, angry, tired, thankful, blessed, confused, trapped. I am in a better state of mind these days. I feel my next reading needs to be the last few months here, so that I can catch up with you all. While I wasn't here, I thought of you often! The relief I felt when I did log back on and see my ladies was immense.
I met my goal weight in time to go on vacation in September. Had a wonderful time in the mountains. I did NO work at all while gone. That is a first for me. Usually I have a couple of hours that I do. I decided anything pressing the rest of them would have to handle. In spite of the Covid, we had a blast.
It didn't take long when we got back for the $h** to hit the fan though. My eating went wrong. The stresses at work were overwhelming. Trying to catch up took forever. I am sure I left money on the table as far as warranty paperwork was concerned, but I am now finally caught up. I will say that even though I have gained some weight back, I am still going into 2021 2 pounds lighter than January of 2020. That was a nice positive.
I am trying hard to watch my attitude with husband's sister. She did finally get a business system in place for us! She told me that my input wasn't needed in choosing it. She refused to send me the training videos. She was determined to do it on her own. I finally figured out to just let her do it. The problem is she half does everything! There are still things that aren't in inventory, but I am fixing as I go. I really needed to have gone into work when we were closed over the holidays to get that up to par, but stayed home and worked on a cross-stitch project. I have learned lots on my own, and am figuring out things to make it easier for me every day. Learning process. The biggest downside at this point is that I don't have access at home. This will mean I am back at shop either early mornings or evenings come spring time. Hopefully things will begin to come together so that extra time will be limited as far as invoices go. I will still be able to do warranty and registrations from home. Learning curves!
November....Thanksgiving is MY holiday! This year I just couldn't get it together. I am so thankful my daughters stepped in. Sara (my Pyrenees) quit eating and was slow moving for 3 days before Thanksgiving. I was so upset, but she was at least 13 y/o. Apparently, she decided to give me more time with her. She ate 3 times on Thanksgiving day! Our Thanksgiving dinner was different as it was just our family, but turned out nice.
December.....my favorite part of Christmas are Christmas cards. I was ahead of the game before Thanksgiving in writing them, then hit a wall. I was worried about Sara. I did manage to get them out by the 20th. Sara took a turn for the worse again the middle of December. I had to make a decision and it wasn't easy. I spent the evening just loving on her on the 18th. I stayed home on the 19th and just loved on her before taking her to the vet. She was tired. It was the best decision I made for her, but still hard on me. She is buried in the backyard near Mandy. I am thankful that my husband was with me. He dug her hole and helped me through it. Some days I still look for her when I get home from work. Little things make me cry when I realize she isn't here. She really was my girl. Oh, just before Sara, my youngest daughter got Pneumonia and spent 3 days in the hospital. Yes, she tested positive for Covid so family was quarantined. She is well now, still tired. No one else got it. It was scary though. Our Christmas was quiet which worked for me. We actually closed the shop from Christmas eve until Monday. We got two three day weekends in a row. New Year's eve we went to dinner with friends early then home for the evening. Husband and I watched Ford vs Ferrari, rang in the new year, and went to bed. I was so full from dinner that I didn't even drink.
The cross stitch I am working on is for my youngest daughter and her husband. I never made them a wedding picture. They went to courthouse, marriage was ROCKY, and I just never found what I wanted. I finally found it and started it on vacation. I will have to figure again how to post a picture. It is almost done. I am excited to give it to them.
So now you are caught up with me. My word for 2021 is LIGHT. Not as in lighter, but as in being the light for others and myself. 2020 was full of blessings, but so dark a lot of the time. I want to be the LIGHT for 2021. I need my butterfly wings back. Not sure about goals, but will think on them.
I LOVE you ladies!
I PRAY for you daily in all your struggles!
WELCOME to the new faces!
THANK YOU for being here and being such wonderful SUPPORTERS of each other!

Playing catch up! All is well here. You ladies have been busy.

"Get to do"s and "chose well"sChose well: BP, called Cao-Or and sent corrected roster,
Bonus: stroll with Joe and the dogs through Harris Beach campground, stroll with T, Post Office, Library, Grocery Outlet, Line dancing in the park (practiced Broke, Less Broken, Margarita, All Night, Homesick), Freddie’s.
Get to do: take BP, dogs to powerline, call S, fire call data into state system, index mutual aid files, watch STAS Day 20, submit grant pics and receipts, make experimental almond paste, declutter sideboard, practice new dances (I ain’t never gonna love nobody but Cornell Crawford (Alley cat), A Little Less Broken, One Margarita, I’m so used to being broke, All Night, Nothing but You, Blame it on my beating heart, Homesick); finish mulching flowerbed; broadcast cover crop seed in veg garden areas, invest another 10 minutes in prepping living trust, Freddie’s for complete series TDAP <$48, get Shingrix vaccine, find and configure a screen time popup, figure out where to plant naked lady bulbs, and soon as it warms up above 50 and dries out below 60% humidity I’ll tape and spray paint those rusted areas of Aunt Elsie’s stove. Reconcile Joe’s EOB’s Thrivent shows only 2263.48 so far, next BGBS ask Terry about GB’s FD firetruck tax levy – contacts, media, advocate???, Wednesday: call roofer.
Reward: inventory seeds, plan next year’s garden, wishlist replenishments, Happier January:
5: look for the good in others and notice their strengths: Thanked T for patience and humor. Joe too.
No oil pressure in the “TRIPS” van. We piled into the old (50 yo?) van but went to Harris Beach campground as closer. A couple of times Tumble’s barking sparked Shadow to bark and they both pulled Joe in different directions. He said something about how hard it was and how he wasn’t going to do it any more… but by the end of the walk he was focusing on how physically better he felt from the exercise and deep breathing in the chilly, fresh ocean air. I’m trying, struggling but trying, to learn not to take everything he says as the always-and-forever-carved-in-stone. Thankful for that!
Joe thinks the oil pump in the “TRIPS” van’s engine is shot, and is preparing me to bid it “Thanks and farewell!”
Lisa I am so with you about the light, desk lamps and ageing eyes. The forest we love blocks most of the natural light PLUS Joe’s glaucoma makes bright lights hurt his eyes. I just can’t seem to get it bright enough in my office to comfortably see the detail I’d like, so looking for more lamps. your story, can see the unhappiness in pic #2 and the joy in #3. and dang, gal, that chapel length train, rich, glorious beautiful. You look like a princess!
Julie your students are lucky to have your perspective. The things you said about the cyclical nature of their concerns will stay with them. For me, exercise generally improves quality of sleep, but exercise done late postpones sleep’s onset.
Jude take your time, glad you’re here.
Heather I’d like your DH’s jigsaw puzzle. How big will it be? Papa taught me the names of the US States and their capitals when there were only 48. Remember many but surely not all… We love our woodburning stove, it's porcelain and cast iron, seals well, and drives off the damp more than the electric central heating. We only run it when it rains, which should damp down any particulate pollution. Not givin’ it up :noway: need it for those long power outages, both for heat and stovetop cooking.
Tina Hope you feel better soon, glad you’re being careful not to lift.
Annie ((hugs)) . Sometimes moving into assisted care before things get really tough is the sound choice. Think the assessment would be good, if sad, information for all of you.
Katla glad you have an appointment with an eye doctor and not just an optician. If you fell hard enough to blacken your eye and break the lens… Wrist surgery? Oh no! Not what you needed to start 2021. ((hugs)) How is your DH taking this news?
Janetr I usually start un-decorating the tree on the 6th, but not this year. When I do start, as I take ornaments out to garage, I’ll bring in twinkle bright lights for the office windows. I need the light and color to make me smile.
Welcome @ajr50969 ! Would you let us know what you’d like to be called and your general locale? your ?Airedale?
Rebecca “…’twere well it were done quickly…”
Sue when I first read “…fell on a bag of horse pellets . . ” feed was not the first image that popped into my mind :laugh: Praying for your brother, oxygen in the 70s is so very scary.
Tracey hope your physio can relieve your back pain SOON, Glad the painkillers and heating pad are helping, good luck finding the exercise/stretches sheet.
Ginny good luck tomorrow/today at the DDS.
Pip you sure can pick the good lookers. (hugs)
Machka does the weather affect your hip? The rain sure gets my knees…
Allie ((hugs)) Sorry to hear about the pneumonia but glad you’re in hospital for it. Is it your local hospital?
Karen ditto Lisa’s comments about your sound advice to Annie.
Kylia imho figuring out a way to access the new biz system from your home would be well worth any investment of your time and $$. ((hugs)) Hardest and best. 13 was a testament to your great care of her. ((hugs))
Lanette good to see you pop in, was getting worried.
Happy tired. Strolled with T, danced at park, ran errands. Most steps in one day since I retired in 2016. When I got home, Joe announced TRIPS van is OK. He was looking at the temp gauge and thought it was the oil pressure gauge. We had a good laugh as that’s the kind of thing I do too. Only other time he’s done it was once when we thought we were stranded way out in the desert looking at a property when the van wouldn’t start. It wouldn’t start because he’d forgotten to press the anti-theft security switch. So grateful he’s taking these things lightly and not angrily/frustratedly.
Lighter, lovelies!

Oh Katla! I'd hoped you had been lucky in your fall but apparently not. Sending healing vibes to you, dear.
Several days ago, my husband slipped on the icy drive at our island home and was fortunate enough to land squarely on the part of his anatomy where he has the most padding. I inspected him for bruising and found none. But as the days have gone by, he's discovered that the jolt must have discombobulated something in his lower back because he's stiff and sore. Still, no biggie.
Healing vibes going out to Allie as well. I figured out that you've had heart surgery but missed what it was that sent you in for the operation in the first place. Pneumonia is NOT what you want to have right now. Here's hoping they can help you fight it off quickly. Same wish for your brother, Sue.
For me, the saddest thing about the past year has been that my parents have been under lockdown. Thank goodness they're at a place where measures against infection are taken seriously! That takes a huge weight off my heart. Nevertheless, I feel they're being deprived of their main joys in what may well be their last years. We Zoom with them regularly, but I can see how my mother is declining now that she gets essentially no exercise at all.
Glimpses of her dry humor still shine through at times. In late summer, when the pandemic had abated a bit, my sister and her family arranged to take my parents to the summer home to celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary. My brother-in-law cooked up their favorite dishes and cracked open some good wine. When my mother wondered what all the commotion was about, they explained that she and my dad had been married for 70 years. She thought for a moment, then said "I still like him."
My husband and I are still in northern Norway but are slated to fly home to Svalbard tomorrow. We'll see how that goes. Yesterday's flight was cancelled because of severe storms up there. The company car has been standing at the airport for a few days. One of the technicians went out to the airport today, located the car, and kindly drove it out of a snowdrift for us. But more storms are forecast. My husband fully expects to have to dig it out again when we arrive. I just hope we can find it!
